Middle School Information

This week I have a few things to share for the Middle School teachers, staff, and administration.

Students at the Middle School are strongly encouraged to keep their student ID cards at school (in their locker or in their binder - perhaps with a hole punch to add it to the actual binder ring.) If a student has lost the student ID a new one will not be issued. Students that come to the media center without their ID will still be able to check out books.

Please take a look at the mpsfollett online card catalog/middle school resource page. On the resource page, we now have access to Study Island and MCA Practice (students need their learner locator code).

The Middle School Media Center has a Marshall Lyon County Public Library Card. This is an extra service that I started at both the Middle School and High School several years ago. With this service the media assistants and I are happy to help students, staff, teachers and administration search and request materials from the Plum Creek System or from MNLink (where materials can be requested from any public library in Minnesota). Requests for this service is only for school related needs. Please for personal needs contact the public library for assistance. If you need the material longer than typically allowed, please tell us. The public library is very helpful to allow us to have materials checked out longer than three week check out time if it is for a school project. If you have any questions, please send an email to Diane Konjura.

Maybe kids should be able to leave their cards in the library in a little "file system" by grade at the desk??? Just a thought.

Diane-

Thanks for working with us on some of the kinks that we need to work out.

Maybe the kids should be able to do a finger scan like they do for lunch
